I saw you with my friends yesterday.
(The person you are addressing was with your friends.)
You could use the first one, in which case, you would be emphasising the �with my friends � and I would put a comma. I might also add �you were �
I saw you yesterday, (you were) with my friends.

I saw you yesterday with my friends (I saw you yesterday, you were with my friends, that means)
I saw you with my friends yesterday (This means that either me or you were with my friends)
I could write
I and my friends saw you yesterday (If I want to point that I was with my friends and we saw you)
I hope that helped you.
